25 May 2025 – To spark the interest of primary school students in science education and promote the development of scientific learning, SJM Resorts, S.A. (“SJM”) and the Macau Science and Technology Innovation Education Association co-organised the “2025 World Robot Olympiad Robostarter — Macau Tryouts.” This event took place on 25 May at the Grand Pavilion of the Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau. Ten local primary schools participated, sending a total of 22 teams consisting of nearly 60 teachers and students.

The Robostarter event is a new category in the World Robot Olympiad (“WRO”) designed specifically for children aged six to eight. It offers a fun and engaging platform for young students to develop their scientific literacy from an early age. Additionally, the competition selects outstanding teams to represent Macau in the WRO China Invitational Competition in July, which will be held in Shandong, thereby enhancing their learning opportunities.
